Peralta's Ace-King Holds to Take Down Pot

Level 14 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action folded to late position, where the player put in 14,000. Saba Peralta, the hijack, called, as did the big blind, giving three way action to the flop.

That flop came {j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. Action checked all the way around. The {2-Hearts} came on the turn. Action checked to Peralta, who fired for 10,000. Both opponents called.

The {j-Hearts} river prompted a 25,000 bet from the opponent. Peralta quickly made the call, and both players flipped over their hands.

Peralta: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Peralta's ace kicker beat his opponent's king, giving him the pot.

Peralta Cracks Aces for Massive Pot

Level 13 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

An early position bet of 16,000 was called by Saba Peralta in the cutoff, the button and the big blind.

The flop of {4-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts} allowed the early position player to bet 22,000. Peralta moved all-in which prompted the button and big blind to fold. The early position player who was the effective stack made the call for 140,000.

Early Position: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Saba Peralta: {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

The Peruvian spiked a four for a set on the flop and there was no help for the early position player on the turn or river and Peralta claimed a huge pot.

Kathy Liebert was standing up at her table and she had an opponent all in and at risk.

The board was quickly washed by the dealer but Liebert was showing {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for trip tens and that was enough to eliminate her opponent and send the WSOP bracelet winner a sizeable pot.

Curchack Busts Opponent with Pocket Tens

Level 13 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Adam Curchack sat in the cutoff as he watched action land on the player two seats to his right, who moved all in with 79,000 behind. The hijack then folded before Curchack moved in as well, covering his opponent. With no other callers, the players tabled their hands.

Adam Curchack: {10-}{10-}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

The {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}{6-Spades} flop gave the opponent more outs with the flush draw, but they proved fruitless as the runout came {7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, securing the pot for Curchack

Dickenman River Aggression Gets Through

Level 13 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

David ''Dave'' Dickenman was on a flop of {10-Spades}{a-Hearts}{6-Clubs} vs an opponent. He checked his big blind over to the middle position player who bet 15,000. With action on Dickenman, he re-raised to 35,000 and his opponent called.

The {4-Hearts} fell on the turn and Dickenman put most of his stack into the middle, 140,000 chips. It didn't take long for the middle position player to let his holding go and award Dickenman over 100,000 chips.

Across the table from Dickenman is one of the largest stacks in the room, Jason Fass, who is sat with over 550,000 in chips.
